The Russian organization Rurik, funded by the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society Affairs (MUCF), also received money from Pravfond, a fund linked to Russian intelligence.

Leaked documents show Pravfond has financed legal defense for notorious figures like FSB agent Vadim Krasikov and arms dealer Viktor Bout.

These revelations highlight Russia's covert influence and intervention through Pravfond, which has supported various activities in Sweden, including conferences.

Former Swedish defense politician Allan Widman unknowingly attended a Pravfond-funded event in Malmö.

These activities underscore the broader strategy of Russian influence in Europe.
